For the next few days you will be creating a Powerpoint presentation based on the budget you created a couple of weeks ago. You will need to start a new presentation and name it “Budget Presentation.” Please note before you begin: I gave you a lot of guidelines to follow on this presentation. If you feel that there is too much information on one slide, make two so that all of the information looks nicer.
  1. Create a title slide, with the title being the name of your chosen career and your name as the subheading.
  2. On slide 2, you should have information about your job. What it is, what it pays, and if it includes any benefits like health insurance. Find a picture that displays your job well and insert it. Make sure to remove the background if possible so you have a professional looking slide.
  3. On slide 3, insert information about where you live, and what kind of apartment you live in. Include a picture of the apartment if possible, and don’t forget information like how much it costs and what kind of amenities it has (a gym, pool, a parking spot, etc). Include your renter’s insurance in this slide.
  4. Talk about your car on slide 4. A picture is a must, as well as how much the car costs in total, how much it costs per month, and how much you pay for car insurance and gas. For fun, you can also include why you picked that car.
  5. Slide 5 is for bills. Include how much you pay for utilities, cell phone, and luxuries like internet and cable. Find a picture that describes how you feel about paying bills. An image search for “Paying Bills” might yield some interesting results!
  6. Practical bills like college loans, groceries, health/life insurance and taxes can go on slide 6.
  7. Slide 7 is for savings, emergencies and fun money. Describe what you will do with this money (go out for mini-golf, pay for oil changes, etc.) and include a picture of someone doing one of these things.
  8. On slide 8, copy and paste one of the graphs you made in Excel describing your bills. The title of this slide should be “What my bills look like.” You can choose which kind of graph to use (pie or bar), but make sure it accurately matches the bills you described. If you changed amounts when you made your Excel sheet, update those numbers in your presentation!
  9. Once you have created all your slides, it is time to animate them! You may choose what kind of animations you use, but all of your slides need to have some kind of animation. Give your pictures animations as well. Once you have finished your animations, search for a background online that says “budget” to you. Insert it as the background picture of your slides. If needed, go in to the formatting of the picture and try to lighten the picture so it doesn’t make your text disappear because it is too bright or bold. You might also want to change the color and type of your font so it stands out more on the background you have chosen.

When you have finished, all of your Powerpoint presentations need to be uploaded to your Dropbox folder.
